West Texas songwriter Charlie Stout draws on experience as a photographer, filmmaker, and producer to animate cinematic lyrics through carefully crafted storytelling.
From the mythical dark hollows of his native Appalachian Mountains to the magnificent deserts of West Texas and beyond, Charlie Stout's words, music, and images evoke contemplation of life and death on the new American frontier.
On the afternoon of July 15, 2015 I drove from Lubbock, Texas to the abandoned First Presbyterian Church of Taiban with an 8-track recorder and a handful of songs. Hear the ambience of the desert, highway, and railway on this self-produced solo acoustic record of flatland murder ballads and high plains hymns.
I print these photographs with a 1-inch border on 8.5 x 11 inch high-gloss photo paper. I sign and date each print in the corner of the border and ship them in anywhere in the USA at no additional charge.
